Chapter 699: Ring of Time Paradox

In the hazy space, two figures sat facing each other across the vortex of time.

Dao Wuzhong put away his thoughts, withdrew his gaze from the Ring of Time, looked at Wuwei, and continued: "In order to curb the source of time and space, I have poured everything into it. As long as I have not left this world, I cannot reveal my whereabouts, so as to avoid the conflict between the past and the future, which will cause the collapse of time."

"Fortunately, everything went well."

Wuwei's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed that Dao Wuzhong had completely mastered the Ring of Time and Space after being deprived of power by the Mother River. This was the only intact source of the Great Dao left in this world. In addition, it would take a long time to restore the source of the Great Dao that had been shattered by his original body.

"You should understand why I kept me here."

"nature."

Dao Wuzhong nodded and continued, "Under the premise that the situation in the outside world is unclear, at least one clone must be left in this world to guard the anchor point coordinates, so that we can return to the resurrection base at any time."

"You had me, but you kept me here. I am truly wise and have guessed my current situation."

"Okay, we both came from inaction, but we don't have the character of praising ourselves."

Wuwei frowned. Although the original body and the clone were independent of each other, they were absolutely unified in essence, with only slightly different personality tendencies. They were both Bai Donglin, so there was no need to brag.

"Haha, it's because I've been in seclusion for too long and I'm a little bored."

Dao Wuzhong laughed at himself. He had indeed been in seclusion for too long. There was no one to talk to. It was so lonely that even with his strong character, he found it a little too much to bear.

"My current strength and the information contained in my memory far exceed that of this deity. If I were to rashly destroy myself and return, it would likely cause a huge impact on this deity."

“Although this impact is not fatal, the great Dao that I have comprehended will infect my own great Dao, causing unnecessary hidden dangers.”

"Especially the realm of will. This is what I am most worried about. The 'other self' exceeds the total amount of my consciousness. I don't know what the consequences will be, but it is best not to take risks."

"So, I'd better wait until my cultivation level is improved again before returning."

Wuwei nodded when he heard this. This was also what the original master was worried about. With the memories synchronized, he naturally knew everything.

"Understood."

"This is also the reason why I stayed in this world. I want you to answer two questions and let me bring back the information."

"Please go ahead."

Dao Wuzhong straightened his expression. Although he had guessed something, it was not synchronized with his original memory, so he did not dare to jump to conclusion.

After all, he knew that he would always come up with wild ideas sometimes.

"First, I want to ask you, how did you manage to keep the timeline from collapsing under the premise of a time paradox?"

The time paradox, also known as the grandfather paradox, is a very prominent example of their experience.

Bai Donglin used to be very confused, and was so troubled by this that he did not dare to judge certain things. It was not until the death of the World Tree in the World of Gods that he solidified his guess. From then on, he confirmed the existence of the "black hand" Dao Wuzhong, and all subsequent arrangements were also based on this premise.

But even though the result was already determined, the doubts in his heart were still not resolved, so he came to ask Dao Wuzhong.

Dao Wuzhong nodded when he heard this, but did not say anything. Instead, he tapped his fingers lightly, cut out a timeline from the ring of time and space, and forced the ends of the timeline together with his fingers, forming a closed loop.

"Look."

“Time should flow from the past to the future, in a straight line with no end. Perhaps, it will split infinitely along the way, but all timelines are the same, flowing forward.”

"And if we want to avoid the time paradox, we have to connect the beginning and the end of the timeline like the one we are in to form a closed loop. In this time closed loop, every node is both the end and the starting point."

"The time paradox naturally does not exist."

Wuwei frowned, glanced at the constantly flickering and changing ring of time in Dao Wuzhong's hand, and said, "This, I also know."

"But the premise is that we are always in this ring, but the current situation is obviously not the case. Time is still flowing forward. I am talking to you in hell, and I have gone to the outside world. This is an irreversible fact!"

"You are right."

Dao Wuzhong nodded slightly and pointed his finger. The ring of time paradox trembled slightly, and then a thread split out, broke away from the ring, and rushed towards an unknown place.

Affected by this, the stability of the Ring of Time disappeared instantly. After a violent tremor, it completely collapsed and turned into a void of light that floated down.

"Our time is moving forward, so the stability of the time paradox loop naturally no longer exists. But in fact, time has not collapsed. Obviously, there is something here that we have overlooked."

"The following is my guess."

Dao Wuzhong's eyes flickered slightly, and then he waved his hand and pulled out another timeline, connecting the beginning and the end to form a ring. Without stopping, he captured another brilliant divine light, and after a while of kneading it, it turned into a halo that was countless times larger, covering the ring of time paradox in the huge "ring arm".

In order to facilitate observation, Dao Wuzhong deliberately dyed the ring of time paradox silver, and the extremely large halo was golden.

"Look!"

Dao Wuzhong tapped his fingers lightly, and the stable silver ring trembled slightly. Then a silver thread split out and extended along the golden "ring arm" to an unknown place.

The magical thing is that the time paradox loop that split the timeline this time is extremely stable and shows no signs of collapse.

Wuwei was stunned and his pupils contracted suddenly. Given his state of mind, his heart was in turmoil at this moment, which showed how turbulent his emotions were.

“I see, I see…”

Dao Wuzhong smiled and nodded, then he clenched his palms, extinguishing the gold and silver auras, and continued: "Haha, this is just my guess. After all, there are still many things we don't understand. Where did the five-colored divine stone come from? Why can it open the dark passage?"

"You know, this passage doesn't just lead to the outside world. It's also the reason why we traveled through it."

"And what exactly is that seven-colored divine light that gives us our talents?"

Wuwei calmed down after hearing this and shook his head silently. He also wanted to know these questions, but it was obvious that the time was not right and the information was insufficient, so he could only explore them slowly later.

After understanding the first doubt in his mind, Wuwei's indifferent expression relaxed a little. This could be regarded as an explanation to the master.

After a moment's silence, Wuwei organized his words and continued speaking, asking the second question.

"Second, I want to ask you about the Scripture of Pregnant God and Forged Demon..."

Wuwei paused, looked at Dao Wuzhong meaningfully, and continued, "Dao Wuzhong, you should have chosen to re-cultivate the "God-Conceiving and Demon-Forging Scripture", right?"

"Otherwise, with the limitations of this world, even if you have a long time to practice, you will not be able to cultivate the powerful force that can contain the source of the Mother River of Time and Space."

"Only this true scripture, combined with immortality, can do this!"

Dao Wuzhong sensed Wuwei's sharp gaze, shook his head and laughed, but did not deny it. It was not a big deal.

"Yes, I did switch to this technique."
